What's Up Pumpkin Butt?

It's 5PM Friday evening. My kids have been gone all day at Grandma's making cookies. They just called to say they're staying for dinner. I'm hungry. I went into the kitchen to find a recipe for French Lentil Stew, but instead I found my recipe for Pumpkin Oat Pancakes, written on an index card by my daughter. I'm compelled to share.

On a different note, I need some feedback. It's been quiet on this here blog all week because I've been quite busy making. Making lots of stuff. Acorn necklaces, dish drying mats, pincushions, and a few other projects I have yet to unveil. I'm thinking about selling a few of my handmade goods, but I'm having a case of cold feet. What do you think?

I'm going to pour a glass of red and think on it, and go look for that French Lentil Stew recipe again.

Dear Lil' Pumpkin Butt,Have a glass of red for me, and you will hear me saying:please. If it pleases you, then have a little shop of your charming wares. You have a style all your own and oh-so-delicious.Love,Big (and getting bigger) Pumpkin Butt

Warm up your feet and dive right in! It's very rewarding to create and then have someone actually want to BUY what you've made! Just be sure to keep some time for yourself. (and I'm off to try the pumpkin oat pancakes!)

Yes! Do it, Do it, do it!!! I bought one of your lovely acorn necklaces last year and my daughter won't ever let me wear it. She LOVES it! Your stuff and ideas are beyond awesome. Just don't stop blogging because then we'll all start whining!

First of all - the title and photo kicks some butt. Now, knit up some socks to take care of those cold feet and continue about making things to "share" with people - because even if you are selling them you are sharing with them on a very personal level and your readers would love to share in your creations with you.

As someone said - the economy is a shame but the holidays are around the corner and as long as it is enjoyable work then there isn't too much to lose right?

I would love for you to offer up some lovely homemade items. I am particularly loving your acorn necklaces. I have thought of trying my hand at one, but then again, if you make them and decide to sell them, that would be easier yet.

I am, however, going to try my hand at the dish rack cloth for some folks.
